PureFTPd + Ubuntu 10.04 + ISPConfig 3 + (ve)

While searching for a Plesk alternative, I called up MT and they mentioned ISPConfig 3. I'd tried Virtualmin/Webmin/Usermin (about 9 times in 3 days) and there was always SOMETHING wrong with the installation.

I've been able to get ISPConfig 3 installed and working. Only one issue though: PureFTPd. It's not working properly.

I followed the "Perfect Server" tutorial for ISPConfig 3.

I'm pretty sure the issue begins at step 15 where it says "Edit /etc/fstab. Mine looks like this (I added ,usrjquota=aquota.user,grpjquota=aquota.group,jqfmt=vfsv0 to the partition with the mount point /):" Not entirely sure why I'd add that, where I'd add it, etc. I've had issues with mounting anything on this server.

Has anyone successfully installed PureFTPd on Ubuntu 10.04 or on a Media Temple (ve)?

Can someone provide a little insight into exactly what is going wrong?

Everything works except for FTP capabilities. I tried Proftpd before reading that it didn't work with ISPConfig 3. Pureftpd isn't working either.

After installing both, I create an FTP user in ISPConfig 3 and then try to access via Filezilla and no dice. My error log doesn't reveal except that it says I'm using the wrong credentials... I receive a 503 error in the FTP client. I did see the welcome message from PureFTPd though...

Ok. Then your problem is not related to the problem in this thread. This thread is about pure-ftpd not starting at all and not about authentication problems.

I've seen in your other thread that you installed a wrong FTP server before instead of following the perfect server guide. This is most likely the resaon for the authentication problems, as there are soem config changes nescessary for pure-ftpd and it is required that pure-ftpd is installed before ispconfig gets installed or the pure-fdtpd logins will fail.

To fiy our setup, please redo the steps to install pure-ftpd that are diescribed in the perfect setup guide, especially the change sin the inetd file are nescessary to ensure that pure-ftpd runs in standalone mode. When you verifies and changed these settings, run a manual ispconfig update and select to recionfigure services.

Log messages are sent to the syslog daemon. You can disable logging with
'-f none'.
If you want all FTP messages to be redirected to a file, say /var/log/ftp,
add this line to your /etc/syslog.conf file:
